To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(判断性的)thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes(过程). Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word "critical" here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when some one criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen—beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker, If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today's world, fast foods, instant coffee, and serf-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, "Please go slowly, I don't understand things quickly."46. Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically,__________.A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB. we might be controlled by other people's ideasC. we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD. we might be fooled by other people's ideas47. If you are a critical thinker, you will________.A. think deeply about different ideasB. trust the reports in the newspapersC. take one view against another viewD. criticize other people for their mistakes51. In the last paragraph, "something new" suggests that________.A. the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsB. the faster you do things, the smarter you becomeC. speed can improve intelligenceD. intelligence is not decided by speed48. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Thinking and Critical ThinkingB. Understanding Critical ThinkingC. Thinking Natural and HumanD. Thinking Fast Means IntelligenceCA recent survey of 2000 parents in Britain showed that they are often afraid of science questions asked by their curious children only because they have no idea what the answer is. Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers.Q: Why is the sky blue?A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits ―raised area‖ in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules (分子) because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters (使分散) it in different directions. That’s why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue.Q: Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime?A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit (照亮) by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit (轨道) around the earth is when it is right bet ween the earth and the sun. That’s because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us.Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter?A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents.

Without effective(有效的) communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, or even disaster.Communication is the process by which we exchange information between people. To communicate well is to understand and to be understood. Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information.In today's highly informational and technological environment, it has become more important to have good communication skills. Here are some important steps to communicate effectively.Know what you want to say and why. Understand clearly the purpose of your message. Know to whom you are communicating and why.How will you say it? We all know that it's not always what you say, but how you say it , that matters. Begin by making eye contact. You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak. Second, pay attention to your body language, since it can say so much more than your words. By standing with your arms easily at your side, you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say.Communication is a two-way street. After you have said what you have to say, stop and listen. Practise your listening skills. Be considerate of others are talking, listen carefully and never cut them off.Definition of communicationCommunication is the process by which we exchange information53.__________people.Some54._________for payattention to communicationskills.●key to success in life, work and relationships●helping to understand each oyher●being of much 55. ________ at present as a result of the highlyinformation and technological environmentSome steps to have aneffective communication.●Have a 56._____ understanding of what your purposes,listeners and reasons are.●Know how you say it because it is sometimes more importantthan what you say.●Stop to listen after you have 57._____your talk.六、单词拼写（共9小题；每小题1分，满分9分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的合适形式填空。

Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn’t that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother’s “helpful instructions (指示)” only made me more nervous.Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortably learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical (典型的) father-daughter relationship. He’d ask how school was, and I’d say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, “basic body” gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.Dad’s sudden chattiness (爱讲话) was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years, I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, but I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework,friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently (因此), I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn’t enough — it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.59.The author couldn’t practice driving with her mother because ________.A. she couldn’t talk with her motherB. her father wanted to teach herC. her mother made her nervousD. she didn’t trust her mother60.At first, the idea of learning driving from her father made her ________.A. happyB. uneasyC. satisfiedD. disappointed61.What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on?A. Her Dad liked modern music.B. Her Dad was the best teacher.C. Her Dad was a chatty person.D. Her Dad told her his sad stories.62.With her story “Car Talk”, the author indicates that ________.A. fathers love their daughters dearlyB. mothers are less patient than fathersC. family members need real communicationD. it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationshipCIt is quite reasonable to blame (指责) traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire (欲望) to beat back (反击) when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave, of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere (氛围) of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is that a driver waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless (无错误的), told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream (潮流) without causing total jams that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone (更不要说) master the roadmanship (驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take (互让，妥协) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.63.What’s the best little of the passage above?A. Road PolitenessB. Traffic JamsC. Good MannersD. Modern Drivers64.Troubles on the road are often caused by ________.A. great speedB. traffic jamsC. terrible road conditionsD. the behaviors of the drivers65.According to the writer, a good driver should ________.A. beat back when forced to face rude drivingB. be able to recognize politeness when he sees itC. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feelD. encourage children to cross the roads whenever they want to66.It is not always right for drivers to ________.A. master roadmanshipB. create atmosphere of good willC. encourage old ladies to cross the roadD. give a friendly nod to show politenessDIt’s 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message becomes clear: “R U awake?”Brandon’s use of technology doesn’t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台) in his room. With so many choices, it’s no surprise that when he isn’t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices.Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices (电子设备). How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.The jump is the result of a huge explosion (爆发) in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. “If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, whynot?” media expert Cheryl Olson says.Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out(闲逛) with friends. “It’s a matter of balance,” says Olson. “You’ve got to work on it.”Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. “It’s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,” says Rideout.With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check (在控制中) is more important than ever. “Kids should try,” adds Rideout. “but parents might have to step in sometimes.”67.Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices (电子设备)?A. Because more electronic devices are available to them.B. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.C. Because they have less other activities.D. Because they have less homework to do.68.It is known from the passage that ________.A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night textB. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 40% in the past five yearsC. Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids’ increasing use of mobile devicesD. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studies69.Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the passage?A. Watching TV while using the computer.B. Talking on the phone while staying with others.C. Playing video games on the Internet.D. Listening to music while relaxing.70.According to the passage, Victoria Rideout would probably agree that ________.A. kids should do homework while surfing the InternetB. kids should do homework in a place without disturbanceC. kids should spend more time on homeworkD. kids should have more homework than before第五部分任务型阅读4 Reasons Why Fad (风靡一时的) Diets are Bad for YouA quick weight loss program sounds like a good idea at the time, but you’ll soon discover that fad diets can be more dangerous to your health than beneficial to it. Here are four reasonswhy fad diets are bad for you, plus tips on how to create a diet plan that helps you lose the extra pounds safely — and keep them off.1. You’ll Wind Up Feeling Dehydrated (脱水的)Most of the weight you drop when you lose weight too quickly tends to be water weight, which can lead to rapid dehydration. Your body burns calories and excess (过量的) weight in stages, and if you force your body to lose weight faster than it naturally wants to, you can cause serious health problems for yourself.Tip: When trying to lose weight, remind yourself that water is your friend. To keep from overeating and to stay properly hydrated (含水的), drink one to two glasses before a meal. Also, if you exercise daily, be sure to increase your water intake in order to counteract (抵消,中和) the water lost from sweating (出汗) while working out.2. You’ll Get Tired QuicklyFad diets involve depriving (剥夺) yourself of calories, however, calories are what translate into the energy your body needs to get through the day. If you eat fast or eat less than what your body requires in order to lose weight too quickly, you’ll find yourself feeling tired for most of the day.Tip: Eat smaller meals throughout the day. This will help to boost (促进) your metabolism (新陈代谢), and can provide you with more energy to help you lose weight in a healthy manner.3. You Can Get Serious Digestive (消化的) ProblemsIn actual fact, losing weight too quickly can lead to severe diarrhea (腹泻), to be followed later by constipation (便秘). As with losing water weight, having diarrhea over an extended period of time can lead to dehydration (脱水) — a condition that can be life-threatening.Tip: Ensure that you have a diet which is rich in fibre (纤维).4. You’ll Suffer from Malnutrition (营养不良)Crash diets and fasting are dangerous because they restrict (限制) you from consuming (消耗) fats and carbs (碳水化合物), but they’re also unsafe since they prevent your body from getting the vitamins and minerals it needs. If you restrict your body from its normal caloric intake over a long period of time, your body will be deprived (使丧失) of important nutrients (营养) and you’ll become malnourished.Tip: A healthy, well-balanced diet is the key to proper weight loss. Talk to your doctor about dietary supplements (补充物) if you are concerned about the amount of nutrients you’re getting.第六部分：单词拼写（根据中文或首字母提示，用模块三词汇表中单词的适当形式填空。

It is the groundwork(基础)of reading and writing. You’d better try your best to speak while you do much listening. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. But be careful not to let them stop you from improving your English. While you are doing this, a good way is to write---keep a diary, write notes or letters, and then if you can, ask someone else to go through(检查)what you have written and tell you what is wrong. Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily found when you write. Through correcting the mistakes, you can do better in learning English.If you are slow in speaking, don’t worry. One of the helpful ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself. The important th ing is to choose something interesting to read. It mustn’t be too difficult for you. When you are reading in this way, don’t stop to look up the words if you can guess their meanings, or they have nothing important to do with the sentence. You can look them up later. （）41.
